Stop Buddy Punching in its Tracks.
Buddy punching comes at a cost and now you can have all the tools you need to prevent it.
Built for real scheduling needs
Repeating availability
Employees mark when they're not able to work each week, creating consistent patterns you see while scheduling.
Manager approval controls
On Essentials and above, require manager approval for availability changes so updates don't change the schedule until you've reviewed them.
Mobile submissions
Your team updates availability from their phones anytime, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth about who can't work when.
Eliminate time theft.
